Checking your uscis portal every day just to see "case is being actively reviewed" for 6 months straight is a very specific type of mental workout lol. FYI, it usually just means your file is sitting in an officer's queue, not that someone's actively reading it today. hang in there!

"Administrative processing" is the most misunderstood phrase in immigration law. It can mean a routine check, or a case that goes quiet for months with no explanation and nobody to call.

A client sent us this photo from her oath ceremony, she's officially a U.S. citizen now! 🇺🇸 Timing's been heavy for a lot of people lately. But cases are still closing every day. Don't give up! Congrats to her. So proud.

Getting a "we have taken action on your case" email from USCIS and logging in to see ZERO updates is a unique kind of stress lol. Most of the time it just means an officer opened your file, ran a background check, or moved it to another folder internally.

Today at 6 PM PST is the hard deadline to join our mass lawsuit for delayed oath ceremonies. If you passed your N-400 interview 120+ days ago and USCIS is still ghosting you on your ceremony, this is your sign to stop waiting.

USCIS has 120 days after your naturalization interview to grant or deny. That's a statute, not a customer service target. Miss it and you can ask a federal judge to take the case over. Almost nobody knows this, so people just wait. Our client didn't. He's a citizen now.

No one is talking about why visa interviews are being canceled. After losing in federal court over visa bans, they paused interviews for "training" to push harsh new Public Charge rules. Interviews will resume soon, but major court battles are coming. I'll keep you posted.

🚨BIG news! Fifth Circuit says undocumented immigrants with no criminal records, specifically those who came across the border at some point long in the past, MUST be given a bond hearing within 90 days of arrest, at which the government must be able to justify continued jailing.

Given the absence of any categorical justification for detention, unlike
in Zadvydas (aliens who have been found to be removable) and Demore (aliens
who were convicted of criminal offenses), there is no reason to lengthen the
period of time during which the validity of detention can be presumed.13 We
conclude that the Government may detain aliens under Section
1225(b)(2)(A) for ninety days but no longer without a bond hearing. We
described earlier the manner in which, by regulations, the Government had

We are not ordering any particular
process, and it is for the defendants to determine in what manner to provide
such a hearing within those 90 days. Failure to provide timely hearings might
again lead to the involvement of district courts. Our only requirement is that
a hearing must be held within 90 days of the commencement of detention and
that at the hearing, the Government must articulate an individualized
justification for further detention without bond. Two such justifications
already have judicial imprimatur — dangerousness and flight risk — but we
do not reject the possibility that the Government may be able to assert
another justification why an unadmitted alien must be detained.

Jessica Treviño had valid DACA protection until 2027. That wasn't enough. When the law stops being applied as written and families are separated anyway, we have to ask: who is this system serving? Not Jessica. Not her three U.S. citizen children. And certainly not justice...

Scoop: Her DACA status doesn't expire till 2027. ICE deported her anyway, separating Jessica Treviño from her 3 U.S. citizen kids “I'm not mad at the country, I'm more mad at the president,” said Sarah, Jessica’s 14yo daughter. “Why is he just separating families?” www.ms.now/news/trump-i...

The Trump administration is deporting ‘Dreamers.’ Their kids are paying for it.

Jessica Treviño Villegas’ DACA status was still valid when she was deported to Mexico. Her children, who are U.S. citizens, are now navigating life without her.

USCIS has a new trick: asking at interviews why you didn't apply from your home country. Your defense: AOS is a legal process, not "extraordinary relief." Leaving means years of family separation, and if your country has a visa freeze, that path is dead anyway. Be ready!
